I loved her in Uncle Buck! I'd think most teenage rebellious gals took notes from her role. I had to tweet TT on their post.

I used to do so many of her lines of dialogue.. so quotable my favorite was "if my whole family moved away from me I'd have a heart attack too"

Nice. Thanks Nick and gang.

Might want to update your website page for this title, which is where I got the special features information I posted yesterday.

I have been periodically checking the Harlock cover art posted to your Facebook (where this information is always posted) but never saw an update that listed the TBD special features. Tonight I noticed you have two cover art posts for Harlock on your Facebook and I had been checking the wrong one for features updates.

Probably just a one-off along with the move to the Friday pre-order. It's also back down to $119.80 instead of $149.75 to qualify. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for this promo to "sell out" as the last few lingered for quite a while.

I can't imagine it being a quick seller. It's not an action, horror, or sci-fi movie. It's a musical, traditionally a slow seller from any studio. It's based on a long running play that's been popular with high school drama clubs and regional and amateur theater companies because of its small cast and basic staging requirements, however, so if everyone who ever appeared in a production of The Fantasticks were to buy a copy for nostalgia's sake, we could have a quick seller

In the past, when the freebies were offered on the same day as pre-orders they disappeared quickly no matter what the title or whose signature it was. It was when they started to move them to a different day that they hung around for a while. Was it simply because they split the days up? Was it because people were running out of things to buy? Tomorrow will be a good way to test some theories. I think it'll go fast because if people are buying a bunch of new titles anyway, why not go for it and toss the freebie into your cart as well?

True. I can see a strong demand for Mysterious Island and Captain Harlock, so people pre-ordering those titles may decide to toss in couple of others to get the freebie.

There were probably a fair number of people who were pre-ordering 4-6 titles, and figured they might as well go for the freebie. When the freebies moved to a separate day, people had a tougher time coming up with enough other titles to justify getting the freebie.

I've never had the opportunity to get a free autographed copy of anything TT had to offer. I just don't buy/like enough movies to purchase. The most bds I've bought from SAE at any given time was three. I see so many members here who have well over 1,000 bds in their collection (which I think is awesome) but I doubt I'll own 400 bds in my lifetime I'm very picky which movies I purchase....that or I'm a tight-wad

Yeah, that's what I was getting at in the last line of my post.

FYI, according to TT's website listing, Harlock: Space Pirate will be a limited edition of 3,500 units. First post has been updated with this information.

Pre-orders open today at 4:00 PM EST for...

BORN FREE (1966)

I'm planning to pre-order Mysterious Island, and I'm also going to order Broken Lance, since I passed up on that title last month.

Has a price been released for "Captain Harlock Space Pirate"?

On their website and in the email(if you are on the email list).

[The Great Owl]

Big sale going on for Twilight Time titles on Screen Archives today.

Sadly (or happily, I guess), I already own all of the sale titles that I want to own, so I'm stuck with the regular prices for new pre-orders.

[xxnomad]

Posted in another thread, so hope this is cool with the pros here. Going to pick up three today during the sale, not a regular TT supporter, and just wanted to see if anyone had opinions if you could only pick THREE of these titles:

-Hombre
-Fat city
-Birdman of Alcatraz
-Judgement at Nuremberg
-Love and Death
-The Young Lions
